Take care of your feet -- you need them all weekend! Bring/research comfortable shoes for both dry and wet/muddy conditions. (I'm going to finally start taking my own advice on this topic this year after hurting last year!) for more on this:

Hey guys,

Not spam, I swear. My name's Dan and I represent a website called Cultivora. We specialize in creating guides for music festivals, and we have a pretty in-depth one for Bonnaroo. We provide all you need to know about the festival and surrounding cool places to check out in Manchester. I'll leave the link below if y'all are interested and I can answer any questions you may have.

Nice guide, but no substitute for Inforoo. And although I admit I didn't read everything there, it seems to be missing some important stuff, like: bring SHADE and extra shoes, how to prepare a cooler for such a long trip, be ready for serious wind and dust or mud, make sure you drink tons of water and don't try to see every single show. Really, most of that guide is available direct from Bonnaroo.com.

EDIT: I sounded kind of negative there, but including a link to THE de facto Bonnaroo online fan community couldn't hurt your site.

Posting your FOR PROFIT website on another site's message board is the DEFINITION of spam.

I fraking hate websites like yours. You are literally stealing other people's culture for personal gain. The majority of your information is vague and completely useless to someone camping at Roo for the first time. You don't inform them of the spirit of the festival, you don't get them in the mindset to enjoy 5 days in the blazing sun, you don't get them in the right mentality to grasp how Roo is NOT like most music festivals. All you do is shovel hotel reservations and ads at people. In fact, everything you do sterilizes and trivializes the experience. You're yet-another buzzfeed style site taking the coffee grounds and squeezing them so the stale, bitter taste of shiz-style starbucks placenta-flavored afterbirth coffee can be swilled out to the masses.

For someone who chose as their username the co-heir to the magical land of My Little Pony, you can be mean sometimes. Perhaps a change to Nightmare Moon (or to decaf)?

PS - WHAAAAT! My Little Pony is where the phrase 'derp' came from?? Can you confirm this, as you seem to be a fan?

Celestia is the meaner of the two sisters. Derp has been around since at least the mid-90s. South Park had a character called "Mr. Derp" in 1999, and I remember hearing that word way before South Park was on the air.

I have no sympathy for corporate buzzfeed-type spammers. They make sites full of stolen content, images, culture, etc... and then fill them with related-ads to make money without actually contributing new content to whatever it is they're doing. It's essentially imperialism and grave robbing for the web.

Well from his website I found out that there is a state park pretty much in Manchester. Might have to check that out after the Fest.

You can look that information up through the tourism boards and state park departments that actually fund and run those attractions, and thus provide them with the web-traffic, search results boost and dollars (booking through them or their agencies) instead of 3rd parties who are just leaching off the system. You'll already be staying in a park of sorts at 'Roo though

You guys are joking right? Look very close at the flyer...the street names...the shape of the park...the location of the MAIN STAGE! HahaThe more I read your post the more I'm sure you're joking. Camp Itchycoo may just have to be my campsite's name now!

From 1999 ~ 2001 the festival was called the Itchycoo Park Music Festival. In 2002, they ran out of money, so another organizer stepped in and formed Bonnaroo on the same place. The land itself was bought out by the 'Roo organizers in 2007, and the rest is history. Enjoy the "park", "farm", whatever you want to call it.

They really didn't want any sound bleed from that kid's stage did they?

I'd be completely down for the Magic School Bus showing up at Bonnaroo this year. And Bill Nye.

So many things I want to say, but most of them have been mentioned already.- Long story short, make it easy for security to check your car. When you pack, make sure your ice-chest/whatever container you pack your booze in is strategically placed at the end of the trunk - closest to the door, making it the first thing the security checks once you enter the grounds. Do not bring any glass bottles and politely open the ice-chest for the security to check. This way, they will spend less time/effort searching the rest of your car for things you do not want them to find...(still hide them well, though)- The best purchase I have ever made at Bonnaroo was the "Moon Mat". It is definitely the most comfortable mat - feels like you are chilling on a cloud. BUY IT if you see it - I do not remember the exact price, but something between $20 and $30.- Check out the Silent Disco if you have a chance. Pretty cool experience.- Get excited for beautiful girls dancing with LED hula-hoops. EVERYWHERE, all the time.- Make sure you fill up your gas tank at the last gas station before Bonnaroo traffic. You never know how much time you will spend getting in. Oh, and use the bathroom there, as well. - Somehow, being around 100,000 non-sober people feels extremely safe and friendly. Do not be shy, make new friends, meet your neighbors and enjoy the happiness-filled air!
